Backlist? You betcha

Oh, happy days. Far Flung and Andorra arrived, via the postmistress, on Saturday, bringing to a neat conclusion my longing to possess -- and read,* though that will come in the ensuing weeks -- every single book ever written by Peter Cameron.

Okay, so there remains outside this arrangement one short story compilation that includes stories from One Way or Another and Far Flung, plus two others previously published in the press. Is it worth purchasing this one remaining book just to get those two other short stories? I keep telling myself it's not, but with the amazing affordability of second-hand books (in the US) these days, and the fact that soon I'll have read everything of Cameron's that there is to read, I think the answer may well turn out to be: you betcha.

*According to current plans, Andorra will be first.
